He already said he's going to do the timing then vacuum leaks first bud. Then look into the gaskets if all else fails.

Re: Red Hot headers and boiling coolant!!

Considering where the thermostat housing is on a TPI, you might be able to drain some coolant and remove the thermostat housing and look on there to see if the ports are blocked

Re: Red Hot headers and boiling coolant!!

Then with the timing wire hooked up, keep turning the distributor counter clockwise until the engine quits revving higher. Then back it off a touch. Let it idle and see if it still overheats.

Re: Red Hot headers and boiling coolant!!

GM made different timing covers and balancers with the marks in different places. If you have a Mis matched set your timing could be way retarded but show that it's good.

Re: Red Hot headers and boiling coolant!!

Just thinking out loud... If all the header pipes are glowing hot it sounds like retarded timing. If it's only a few you might have a couple plug wires messed up.

Still look for vacuum leaks too

Re: Red Hot headers and boiling coolant!!

If you never unplugged that timing wire when you set your timing, it will be set quite retarded. This causes a pile of heat to enter your headers and coolant system.

Re: TPI 305 Cutting out for split-seconds under accel

If it's worse in cold or damp weather that indicates that your plugs, wires, cap rotor and coil may need servicing. If your coil, cap or wires are cracked, damp conditions can cause spark to jump out.

I really should when I have time. So far I just did the old cranking compression test. 160 at -2, 155 at -4

Re: Dynamic Compression ratio

Typical yeah. Often if you actually blueprint your static confession to bring up your dynamic compression you'll end up closer to the 11:1 range.
